  1. Wow! They are generally the cheapest, even after the 3%. I guess it's a supply and demand thing right now. But if they still have them in stock, maybe demand isn't that great.
  2. .
  3. In other news: Medical marijuana bill fails in Tennessee legislature.
  4. John didn't go into great detail regarding the case he was speaking of. He only mentioned that Tennessee law only allows enough force to stop the threat, not necessarily enough to kill the person. He didn't mention anything about a shot in the back or while retreating. He just said the bad guy was shot three times, but the courts felt the threat was stopped with just one or two. Ralph did mention that every instructor he has dealt with talked about two to the chest, one to the head, or something similar. John didn't have much of a response.
  5. I was just listening to the John Harris interview on The Ralph Bristol Show. During that interview John was discussing the "what ifs" had the Martin/Zimmerman situation had happened here. John talked about a case here in Tennessee where someone was forced to defend his life with a gun. The bad guy was shot three times. When all was said and done, the good guy was charged and convicted of - if I remember correctly - homicide. The courts felt, based on Tennessee law, the good guy shot the bad guy too many times. According to John, you are allowed to shoot the bad guy only as many times as necessary to stop the threat. John didn't have time to go into great detail about the case, but 3 shots doesn't sound excessive to me. Unless they can prove you shot the bad guy enough to stop the threat, then stood over his body and pumped another round or two into him just for good measure, who's to say how many is too many? I guess a situation like this affirms the importance of proper shot placement.
  6. Yeah, the state is shutting down those farmers/ranchers who raise feral hogs. I'm not educated enough on the subject to say whether or not it's a good idea, but I have heard that these type of hogs can cause major destruction.
  7. Will a regular phone through one of the major carriers not work? Or are you trying to avoid a long-term contract?
  8. I'm not sure if I asked that question or not. It was already sold and wasn't my cup of tea, so i didn't ask too many questions.
  9. I got a .40 through D&T Arms. I haven't had a chance to throw any lead with it, but I love it so far. Slightly gritty pre-travel, but it breaks wonderfully. I'll have to smooth up the pre-travel a bit, but that shouldn't be too difficult.
  10. I held one while at D&T Arms today. I wouldn't have a need or desire for a gun of that size. For one, it's too big for a pocket gun. Secondly, it's too small for me to carry in a holster without that big grip extension, which I cannot stand. There's no doubt going to be plenty of those who just have to have one, but it would serve no purpose for me.
  11. So far they've been going for $415 - $425 around Nashville.
  12. It depends on which phone and carrier you're using. Not all phones are capable of capturing screen shots.
  13. Sweet! I'd like something like that in .308.
  14. Sounds like you made the right call to me. Too many news stories about children happening upon a gun in similar situations. Better to be safe than sorry.
  15. Found a mistake or two: http://www.nashville...ental_range.php "Host YouR Next Event at Nashville Armory!" http://www.nashvillearmory.com/dev/test/retail.php Every member of our friendly staff possesses an extensive of knowledge of firearms and all things related to the shooting sports.
  16. Here it is: School Name: Small Arms Training School (S.A.T.S) Location: Franklin, Tn (Williamson Co. Sheriff's Department) Primary Instructor: Jim Mauth HCP Class Cost: $75.00 Website: Unknown Phone number: 615-794-3333
  17. I took mine through a group at the Williamson County Sheriff Department. I don't recall the name of the company/group that hosted the class, but they used the facilities at the WCSD. You can probably give them a call to find out who, when, where.
  18. What makes Tapatalk so much better than the regular mobile version?
  19. Franklin Gun Shop isn't know for being competitively priced. Franklin is one of the areas where gun shops can get away with that.
  20. Nothing specific right now. I was just wondering in the event I may want something in the future. I know there are companies that focus almost souly on one brand, like Glock or SA XD. I didn't know if there was such a company that's main focus was on the M&P.
  21. There are companies that offer aftermarket parts for Glocks and XD's, does anyone cater to the M&P's?
